Custom winget

Community Help With My Project

added custom gauge winget but nothing comes up in settings to adjust or view ranges and selecting corors for ranges at bottom of settings have used it before not sure why it is not coming up

2

i am not sure why the setting does not open up. can you try this. first delete the widget from the dashbboard. next, add the below lines in your code.

 unsigned long lastMillis = 0;

if (millis() - lastMillis > 10000) {
    lastMillis = millis();
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(1, x, "analog_sensor", "null");
}

where x is the value you want to show on the dashboard.
when you upload the code this will create a temporary widget on your dashboard. add it and click settings. change choose widget to gauge and do the changes you want.

where in code is this placed and do i need to add this for every sensor gauge? Not sure what you mean by x is value i want i callibrated sensors 5 as dry and 615 as wet

4

can you share the code you are using.

here is my code

did you look over my code still needing gauges with variables and color ranges have not heard back

in your change this :

to

Cayenne.virtualWrite(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL1, analogRead(SENSOR_PIN0), "analog_sensor", "null");

similarly do for others.
